Well I was discussing somethings with a friend about ways that could make it harder for those who scam and try to dump the FG that was scammed.

The idea which was mentioned by my friend was to add the ability to search the S/A section for the name of the accused user and it could come up with all s/a's against them.
Another possibility to this could be a link/button or something in profile or under the avatar someplace to direct you right to a search for all s/a's against the specific user.
For those who have repaid/are repaying there could be a repaid comment beside all scams they have gone and repaid.

My main reason for feeling something like this should be implemented is cause I see quite a few scammers manage to dump to the FG they steal basically getting with with the scam by only being locked with 0fg cause the people they traded the fg too had no idea the person in question had scammed and having an easy access way to find out if they have could be really useful in that kinda situation.

Advantages:
makes it much easier to find s/a's against specific users so you can be safe to check if the guy who just pm'd you or posted in your topic has scammed people


Disadvantage:
it would also show any fake s/a's
could potentially make it harder for past scammers to get back on their feet after repay

Here are some images (Kagura did these for me):




If you have any ideas to add on or opinions please post them or maybe more advantages/disadvantages I cannot think of.

Could be a very helpful idea, looking forward to seeing comments from others

I REALLY Like this idea, wish I would have thought of it.

Definitely voting yes

Its a very nice idea in my opinion. Would just be bad if there is a wrong accusation against someone.

Voted yes.

So in order to have compassion for the recently scammed you want to punish those that are accused (and have not yet been found guilty) by using said accusation/s as a reason to not trade with them?

A scammer cannot repay their own scams anyway so in my eyes where the gold goes doesn't change anything other than people's emotional response.

In my opinion the cons outweigh the pros, no.

This is an expanded version of something that has already been suggested and denied. (many times).
It would lead to people making false accusations against people they don't like.

No need for this, if an accusation is true the user will be locked and tagged, this suggestion would only lead to fake accusations

Sounds like a good idea Also would hopefully stop scams for people who don't use a mediator to trade.

Voted yes. This could be quite useful as there so many claims it can take quite some time for a scammer to get there locked/scammer tag.
